Bialetti Musa 4-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker

I have a 6-cup Moka Pot "for a few years and recently bought the 4 cup stovetop Bialetti Musa perconlator for $ 39 on Amazon. Moka Pot: Your standard Italian coffee stove that will last forever, even with the cheap. About $ 6 from secondhand shop, and very easy to find. Unfortunately they are a little 'more work - the aluminum construction results in a metallic taste, if not properly cleaned. The "right" way to clean is just hot water and let the film fat into the pot (aluminum coat and provide a barrier to use). Sun offers the highest returns, as * not * clean. :)

Bialetti: stainless steel - easy to clean, it foam, no metallic taste. More difficult to find (Amazon health control food shops). My arrived yesterday through Amazon.com, no metal shavings or fat (as a reviewer previous experience). As other reviewers have noted, the 4 "version Cup has 6.8 ounces of espresso, so that as Starbucks 'Venti' wonder that you are trying to avoid.

Here's a simple recipe that kicks out the door in the morning, 6-8 oz expressed by the hob (1 Moka Pot) 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, 6.8 oz half-n-half throw it in the microwave for 30s, Some Like It Hot. Enjoy!

I got as a wedding Musa 4 years ago and have used it since almost every morning. He rose perfect for regular use, I only had to replace the rubber seal / gasket once so far and there is a small 1 / 2 "crack on the top of the handle. I even need to travel with because it is so small I rinse after every use and clean with a paper towel and a mild soap and water dish once a month or so, if you end up with hard water can build a little 'less of calcium in their tank a bit 'diluted CLR left to sit for an hour or so will clear up (rinse well!). Highly Recommended.

This is a great game and, oh, so elegant. People find it hard to believe that a moka pot! And 'perfect for a super-strength milk or 2 slightly weaker. I love this pot.

I love this little thing. The part of my Capresso expresso wore off and I lost my Expresso. This works great. I can still froth milk with espresso and do my Capresso this. If I will be another increase in size, but this is perfect for a latte grande! Stainless steel is easy to clean and looks good in the kitchen.

4 European Cups (two ounces to taxes) is only 8 grams of espresso. This is only good for two Lattes high. This is soooo good. I love mine.
